 A Good Prosumer Work HorseJul 06, 2010
I own both Canon 40D and Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only). Canon 5D seems to have an edge over less noise on high ISO shots with no flash. The acceptable noise level for Canon 40D is about ISO 320 while you can go up to ISO 500 with the 5D.
On the other hand, Canon 40D has a lot more focus points when you use auto focus. I like them both but I tend to use the Canon 40D for personal occasions because it has a built in flash.
 Love at first sightJun 20, 2010
I purchased a used 40D about a month ago, from an Amazon merchant who took great care of it. I was upgrading from my Canon 10D, which I've had since 2003 and will hand down to my 4 year old who says he wants to be a "tographer in the city some day" (he actually takes great photos!). I absolutely love the 40D - the images are just more rich than they were with the 10D....love love love it.
MODEL TO BUYMar 23, 2010
I have a canon xt and ready to up grade to a newer model all the reviews make it difficult to chose between the canon 40D and the 50D or maybe some other canon 1D mark 111 price is an issue but quality and clear pictures are equally important. I do most of my shooting in doors and action shoots I have a 70 to 200 2.8L IS USM lens I use on my XT and would like recommendation on which body to up grade to and what benefits I will see. I also would need a wide angle leCanon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lensns of some sort preferably an IS, any suggestions.
Very capable digital SLRFeb 02, 2010
I have owned the Canon 40D for more than a year, purchased from Amazon. It is a very capable DSLR with excellent image quality (I use the 24-105 L zoom). It is relatively easy to use, especially using the custom menus. The biggest improvement for my photography is due to the very quick autofocus and very rapid shutter - as fast as I can press the button, it takes a good in-focus picture. This lets me capture many shots that I couldn't get with a slower non-DSLR. Also, naturally, you can use other lenses and a longer telephoto zoom is in my plans. One drawback is the somewhat dim LCD display, which can't be used to determine critical focus after the shot because the image displayed on the LCD is not full resolution.

Excellent DSLR, now a bargainNov 12, 2009
There are a significant number of technical reviews on this camera so I'll be brief. This is an excellent camera. Only upgrade that it lacks & I wish it had is in camera lens correction. The camera is very fast. It easily takes 6+ frames a second. Auto focus is very fast also, even in less than perfect light. You'll be able to use for virtually all sporting events. But it also has good depth & coloration for landscapes, portraits, etc. It does only have a 12 bit color processing system but color is very good. AND don't let the ONLY 10 megapixel issue throw you. Although 10mp may seem light compared to the newer models, I believe that is one of the reasons the camera is so good at processing light. The pixels are less compressed on the sensor and really seem to pick up light much better than some of the newer camera's. And you will find that the 10mp is more than you'll need even if you like to crop your photo's several times or blow them up large enough to frame & hang on the wall.
AND the biggest plus? This camera is a bargain right now. With the new 7D & 50D out, people are unloading this model very quickly. If you want a camera to use for several years, try this one & take the money you'll save and buy a couple of very good PRIME lens. You'll get amazing results out of even marginal camera's if you use good lens. And if you match up a couple of good lens (TRY USING PRIMES, not telephoto's! Save the telephoto's for sporting events, etc!) to this camera you'll be very, very happy with the results. Fyi, I would give this camera 4.5-4.75 stars if I could. I would give it 5 if it had in camera correction (for some lens aberrations) & a 14 bit color processor. Good shooting!
